To whom it may concern, I have an unopened pink Hot Wheels Noodle Head with 1970 clearly visible on the bottom of the car. The packaging has a 1969 copyright, and includes a "Matching Collector's Button." So maybe these didn't start in 1971? Jdata1 (talk) 19:05, August 24, 2019 (UTC)
The noodle head was definitely released in 1971. The 1970 date on the car is the copyright date which is usually one year before it was released, as for the 1969 copyright date on the card, 1971 cars have the same card as 1970 hence the 1969 date. But I would love to see pictures of your noodlehead on card, sounds awesome. --Reeceracing (talk) 07:49, August 25, 2019 (UTC)
